Mustang All wheel steer loaders, ML

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Mustang All wheel steer loaders, ML use differential fluid with a capacity of 4 liters. Service intervals include checks at 500 hours and changes at 100 hours or 12 months/1500 hours. The data covers 8 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Mustang ML360 and ML460 all wheel steer loaders, both equipped with the Deutz D2011 L04 W Tier III engine, share an identical front and rear differential fluid capacity of 4 liters per differential across all listed configurations for 2008-2011.
  • Under normal use conditions, each differential on both the ML360 and ML460 carries a fluid check interval of 500 hours, indicating a mid-cycle inspection point before the full drain-and-fill service is due.
  • The normal use change interval for all four differentials across both models is set at whichever threshold arrives first: 12 months or 1500 hours of operation, reflecting a dual-trigger service schedule tied to both calendar time and machine usage.
  • An initial service change interval of 100 hours applies to both the front and rear differentials on the ML360 and ML460, which is significantly shorter than the 1500-hour normal interval. An early change at 100 hours is a common practice in heavy equipment to remove metal particles and contaminants generated during the break-in period of new gear components.
  • The initial service rows carry no fluid check interval, only a change interval at 100 hours, whereas the normal use rows specify both a 500-hour check and a 12-month/1500-hour change. The two use conditions therefore represent structurally different service sequences rather than simply different timing values.
  • With 4 liters specified per differential and two differentials per machine, a full differential fluid service on either the ML360 or ML460 involves a combined volume of 8 liters across both axles.
